The Dimension-Shift Category and Its Mellin-Gamma Representation
Abstract
We define a thin category of dimension shifts and a category of positive Radon measures with Radon--Nikodym density morphisms. We classify scaling-covariant functors whose morphisms are given by homogeneous densities. Gaussian normalization selects a unique functor with values Its morphism component yields the radial-integration transport while the unit-interval observable recovers the Euclidean ball-volume formula The two transports differ by the multiplicative coboundary of , identified with the categorical dimension of the standard object in Deligne's interpolation category .
